1971, VEB Waggonbau Görlitz delivered two prototypes of the double-decker single car to the DR. The double-decker single coaches were expected to be more flexible in adapting to changing passenger volumes as well as savings in the event of damage. After extensive testing of the two prototypes, a first series of around 138 vehicles was delivered from 1974 onwards. The lower floor of these cars was fully equipped with seats. Initially, it was used in the southern conurbations and routes with high traffic volumes.
